Knight who seeks to get injured in combat so she can be tenderly held by her Lady but she keeps absolutely killing it out there and she's too honorable to throw a fight

i think what sinners had to say about the tenuous identities of white americans, specifically irish americans, was really interesting. like there’s a vacuousness in the cultural lives of white americans that i think we’re all aware of on a subconscious level, and there’s a constant chasing of tradition and community, but sinners also revealed the bitterness that white folks feel towards Black people and the strong sense of identity that they have forged in the face of so much horror. like the whole thing about white peoples loving the blues but not the people who make it is absolutely true but even truer when you look at how utterly devoid of cultural roots american whites often are besides regional pride. it’s jealousy as much as it is hatred. idk

Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.

Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?

Me: I am going to eat you

having anti punitive justice morals sucks because you want to say "man that guy sucks he should get hit with hammers until he dies" but you also want to make it clear you don't think anyone should be put in charge of the 'hit people with hammers until they die" machine.
